Sorry, my case is different

3 packages are installed:

SDL-devel.ppc64
SDL-devel.ppc
alsa-lib-devel.ppc64

alsa-lib-devel.ppc is NOT installed

For sure SDL-devel.ppc64 depends on alsa-lib-devel.ppc64.
The I have to guess that SDL-devel.ppc depends on alsa-lib-devel.ppc64 too. (a bit strange
though)
Otherwise I could not be installed.

Then I remove alsa-lib-devel.ppc64 and yum removes

alsa-lib-devel.ppc64
SDL-devel.ppc64
SDL-devel.ppc

Then when I install SDL-devel.ppc, yum installs

SDL-devel.ppc
alsa-lib-devel.ppc

So it looks like alsa-lib-devel.ppc and alsa-lib-devel.ppc64 are equivalent (for yum).
That is not possible since

/usr/lib/libasound.so is only part of ppc version
/usr/lib64/libasound.so is only part of ppc64 version.
